Wales really does look after its young guns

Just over the border in England it costs £5 per day per child to get to school and college.

Depends on both your council and local bus companies, it’s my understanding that this is where any additional funding, outside of the govt cap, is acquired.

East Sussex has just brought in a new initiative 50p children £1 adults for short journeys, £2 middle and £3 for any length..

You are aware, surely, infoman that in Scotland anyone under 21 as well as anyone over 60 is eligible for a free bus pass. England has the capped bus fare, which is a great idea IMO, but I would hope that eventually bus travel will be free for everyone. We'll need a lot more buses though...

Reminds me of when we (as schoolchildren) could go anywhere on any Greater London bus for 5p. Good old Red Ken. Nowadays parents have to spend a fortune just to get their kids to school.

Other European countries put us to shame when it comes to affordable & reliable public transport.
